Karabagh Rug with Vertical Stripes

The source of the rug comes from the book Tapis du Caucase - Rugs of the Caucasus, Ian Bennett & Aziz Bassoul, The Nicholas Sursock Museum, Beirut, Lebanon 2003, nr.35. This is a vertical stripe rug from the late 19th century, Karabagh region, Caucasus area. This rug shows in the field a design of thin, vertical, multi-colored stripes. These stripes are filled with tiny motifs linked together. In the axis, we have two diamond-shaped medallions with pendants. The design of thin bands with medallions is usually encountered in rugs of large formats. It is seldom found in prayer rugs. This rug exhibits a multiplicity of colors. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and the most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.
